Serves: 40-50 chips
 
Baked pita chips brushed with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt and pepper, perfect for dipping in hummus and the sturdier dips alike!
Ingredients
  • 6 whole pita bread (I use multigrain ones usually- without pocket)
  • ¼ cup olive oil, more if needed
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, more if needed
  • Sea salt or Kosher salt, to taste
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat if you wish to. Set aside.
  3. Place the pita bread flat on your work surface and split them in half with a sharp knife (If pita is thicker than your liking), But If you are using thin pita then skip this step. Cut the pitas into 8 wedge to make 8 triangular wedges. Set aside.
  4. Place all the wedges in one single layer on the sheet pan. I usually place them facing down first.
  5. Using a pastry brush, brush the wedges with oil, coat it well and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  6. Now flip them on the other side (in single layer again) and brush them with some more olive oil followed by a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  7. Bake the pita chips for 5 to 8 mins. If your wedges were thick to begin with then it might take more time. Lower the oven to 300 F, remove from the oven and carefully turn the chips over and bake some more, but keep on check.
  8. Bake until completely crisp and as golden-brown as you like.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the pita chips cool completely before serving.
My Notes
If you do not wish to eat it right away, then immediately store them in an air-tight container after allowing them to cool off. Stays fresh for upto 1 week.

For gluten-free version, choose gluten-free Pita.

The pictures show only the addition of salt, not the pepper, but usually everytime I do add the pepper because the taste difference with very evident.
